I would assume the later. :hmm: That adventure was published last summer, meaning development on it was probably done before the rules were finalized. So it would have been easier for gaffes like this to slip past. :-S

As was noted, all of the H series, 1-3, are deficient in both magic items and cash rewards. I've been adding more items to them in the planning stages, but it was only recently that I could be bothered to calculate the amount of gold and noticed that they were short on money too. But if you go...

For the most part, my first impression is that I love this module. More than H2, in fact. Why? Because it's such a blast from the past, but at the same time also perfectly modern. Allow me to expand on that. Have you ever played 1st ed modules like White Plume Mountain, Ghost Tower of...

I print out the errata, cut it up and insert the strips of paper into the books at the appropriate pages. Easy as pie. :p

If you're talking about Fleeting Ghost, then I disagree with your reading of that power. It removes the -5 penalty, nothing more.

The big thing I spotted right away is that they now specify superior cover or total concealment to allow a stealth check. Instead of just regular old cover or concealment, like it says in the PHB. The Warlock player in my game will not be happy. :P

Any bonus that says it adds to "damage rolls" adds to any attack that has a "[W]" in it. Because that's what the "[W]" means - that you roll a die.

You really think it's that big a difference? OK, be my guest and enforce it then. :p BTW, I'm not arguing against your main point. I think staff wizards are good, too, I'm just not sure superiority vs. Shield is a good linchpin for your position.u

Well... Shield also prevents the damage. A nitpicky DM could rule that you have to activate the Shield after the attack roll but before the damage roll, so you wouldn't know exactly how much damage you stopped. But in practice, I would never be that anal about it. :cool:

PH pg 295. Though it actually specifies "creatures" I would let PCs use the rule too, in some cases. Namely, if they were stabilized during combat by the Heal skill but had already used their Second Wind, and so remained unconscious. If someone is not stabilized at the end of combat I would...

Orcus has always had a ram's head AFAIK.

No more bang, just a whimper... [Derren apparently being immune to divine retribution, he instead goes on my Ignore list.]

KA-BOOM! [Lightning disintegrates Derren, leaving only a single smoking boot]

All "sack of bunnies" strategies are banned by the "Legitimate Targets" clause. DMG pg 40. Please don't belabor the point. :cool:

Primal is a shoo-in. I'm betting on Elemental and Shadow as the most likely secondaries. Ki and Psionic I think will get their own books, since they don't feel very "core"...

That's as may be, but in 4e cosmology, Arcane is explicitly Feywild derived. CBA to dig up the quotes right now, but if you have the books I'm confused as to how you could have missed it... :P

Off topic, but I couldn't resist.... There is one: "HeroQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha" (Issaries 2003) That book has as close to zero errors as you will ever get. Why? Because I proofread it, and fixed quite a lot of small mistakes. ;)

This came up in another thread about Skill Challenges, but got lost in the hubbub, apparently. After looking at the adventure myself, I thought it was worthy of its own discussion: Point 1 seems similar to the idea of partial successes that's been bandied about, and I heartily endorse it. I...

I think it will be easier to print the sides separately, on normal paper, and put them in clear plastic card sleeves. :)

The only thing I would want card backs to say is "Encounter" or "Daily", so that if I flip a used power, I'll know when to flip it back up. But I think I can let the players pencil that in by hand on their cards. Give 'em something to do. ;)
